Atoms and molecules bounce during collisions of any kind when they are in a solid, liquid or gas.
The word "bounce" when used to refer to atoms or molecules means that the have a collision that may be considered elastic.
This word "bounce" is not especially scientific. Instead one typically hears about colliions and those collisions are termed elastic or inelastic. If two chemical species are involved in a chemical reaction, then when they have a reactive collision, they do not bounce, but they exit the collision changed in some way. They exchange atoms or somehow exit the collision as one or two or more chemical species. Such collisions do not conserve kinetic energy.

As gas particles bounce around and collide they spread to what?
Fill or Expand.
What makes a gas a gas and its not a liquid or a solid?
the particles bounce all over unlike a liquid or solid
What do cold gas particles look like?
The molucles are spread very far apart any are not as rapadd bounce of each oter, and the as solid and liquid
How does the behavior of the particles change as energy is added?
In microscopic scale such as gas particles, more energy is more to particles kinetics, it will move faster and bounce on surface at faster rate. It will resulted to higher pressure or more volume from expansion or the increase of temperature or all of 3 combined.
What is bigger gas particles or smoke particles?
smoke particles are bigger than gas particles.

What happens to the distance between particles of a substance as it changes from a liquid to a gas?
The distance increases, as the particles become more energetic and the substance loses its definite volume, as the particles bounce around, due to heat/increased energy.
What part of the atoms caused the particles to bounce?
The heavy, dense nucleus of the atom caused the alpha particles to bounce back in Rutherford's experiment.

How do you describe the movement particles in a solid a liquid and a gas?
In a solid particles vibrate and stay in one spot, however due to vibrating, they may move slightly. In liquids, they bounce around in a small area relitvly close to their "spot". In a gas, particles bounce around freely, moving around all of the given space. To relate , a solid's particles are like vibrating cell phone, staying in place. However gas's are like bouncy ball enclosed in a jar

What causes sand-sized particles to skip and bounce?
Wnd
What is bigger gas particles or smoke particles?
smoke particles are bigger than gas particles.
Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?
No, heavier gas particles diffuse slower than lighter gas particles
